Joel K. O'Brien

Joel Kyle O'Brien (died 1862) was an American Wild West bounty hunter. In 1862, O'Brien, Mal Bulloch, and Michael A. Swain attempted to capture or kill the Mexican bandit Tuco Ramirez at his hideout in New Mexico, but Ramirez - who had been eating a chicken drumstick - fired several shots at the bounty hunters and killed them before bursting out of the window to escape.
